So...are we alone?

"Think for yourself...question authority....think for yourself....question authority. Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorising fact that we do not know who we are or where we're going in this ocean of chaos, its been the authorities: the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us...ORDER, RULES, REGULATIONS informing forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, openmindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to Inform youself" - 'Third Eye Live' Salival - Tool

I have always been fascinated by this quote. Thinking from an objective point of view it seems really real. I mean come to think of it...it makes perfect sense. Humans have always found the fact that we're all alone in this vast universe 'disturbing'. Doesnt it also make sense that before we started our quest to look for other life out there, we created stuff to make ourselves feel better that there IS someone out there. Maybe we really are alone in this universe? maybe we did get created through mere 'coincidence' that this planet was hit by comets to give it the march towards life, and eventually it will be the same thing which will destroy life that once created it.
What our faith tells us is that there is something bigger than us out there, there is someone out there watching out for us. Its human psychology to think of someone looking out for us as being comforting. Makes perfect sense doesnt it ;)
